You could also add buildpkg to FEATURES in make.conf. this causes portage to create a binary package every time you install or upgrade something. If the next time you upgrade it, something breaks, you can roll back far more quickly than if you had to recompile the old version. You can use quickpkg to build packages for currently installed apps. You should still keep a live CD handy, in case you manage to bork portage :( -- Neil Bothwick A chicken is an egg's way of producing more eggs.
